With Shark Hunting, I prioritize this order:
1. Price
Where is it really going?
2. Spot flow
Does real money move in the same direction?
3. Futures taker
Which side is leverage attacking?
4. OI
Is it opening new positions, or just closing?
5. BTC
Does the market regime provide support?
A perfect Long is not only:
Futures BUY.
But must be:
Price↑ + Spot BUY + Futures BUY + OI↑ + BTC confirms
A perfect Short:
Price↓ + Spot SELL + Futures SELL + OI↑ + BTC confirms
If Spot and Futures are fighting each other, that’s usually an absorption / trap / phase shift zone—the place where Shark Hunting should observe, not rush into a trade.
Right now, BNB shows signs of a Spot-led recovery, but it’s not enough to switch to a Long because OI is declining and the 4H trend is still bearish. The next 15m candle—if Spot continues to Buy, Futures turns to Buy, OI rises again, and the closing price is above 714.24—then the story will change significantly.
